Famalicão celebrates Antoninas with lots of sports
24-05-2022
In Famalicão, Saint Anthony is celebrated in the street. The party is hard in the dances, in the art of eating and drinking, in the parades and in the singing, but also in the running.
The Bernardino Machado Athletics Grand Prix, one of the popular competitions most cherished by the citizens of Famalicão, is back and is the highlight of the sports programme of the city's festivities, which take place from 9 to 13 June.
The event, organised by the municipality in collaboration with the Braga Athletics Association, will take place on the morning of June 12 (10h00) and is divided into two segments: a 10-kilometre run and a six-kilometre walk.
Registrations are already taking place online at www.famalicaodesportivo.pt and www.aabraga.pt and are free of charge until June 9. They can also be made in person until June 8, at the municipal swimming pools, at Casa da Cultura and at the Famalicão em Forma Office. A 5 euro fee will be applied to last minute registrations.
Athletes representing clubs, collectivities, popular organizations, companies and individuals, federated or not, in the Juniors, Seniors and Veterans categories (male and female) may participate in the competition. There will be presence awards to all participants, trophies for the three best classified in each class and gender and also team awards for the first three teams in the general classification.
However, there is more sport in Antoninas than the Athletics Grand Prix. This year, there are nearly a dozen races, among them, the Sportive Spring 2022 and the 7th Madder Downhill of Famalicão, on June 10, the 29th Raid Antoninas and the Alex Ryu Jitsu Portuguese Cup, on June 11, the Columbófila das Antoninas Race, on June 12, and the Antoninas Cup at the Academy of Futebol Clube de Famalicão, on the holiday of June 13.
